Science has temporarily halted while it waits for my computer to get fixed. Or it just piles up so I have a lot to blog about when I finally regain regular Internet access. One or the other.
In other news, this website gets roughly 25 views a day without me sneaking in (always relevant, never spammy) links at other blogs to generate traffic. I guess I’m sort of proud of that.

I’ve recently been reading Jerry Coyne’s book, Why Evolution is True. The amount of direct information this man delivers is phenomenal. In many cases, creationism-evolution arguments need to rely on a lot of rhetoric – the evolutionary rhetoric being based on reality and the creationism rhetoric being based on what some ignorant pastor or website said (yeah, rhetoric like that). Coyne, however, does this for his opening (as is the nature of openings), but then basically refutes every ignorant creationist qualm with specific examples. My favorite section thus far is on biogeography. It isn’t news to anyone, but Coyne elucidates the concept beyond any single work I’ve encountered to date.
This is one of the better books on evolution out there. It is needed reading for any individual who is driven by religion and emotion to deny the beautiful facts of life as revealed through science.
